I have a suspicion many of these different theories may have had a complicated effect that lead to intelligence. I see flaws in all of the theories, however if all the theories played a role together then each of their flaws may be resolved.
Didn’t expect the stoned ape theory though🍄 great video, been reading a book called „social - how our brains are wired to be connected“ and goes deep into this.
YAY YOU UPLOADED!! i love your informative videos and chill energy, thanks for the vid! take care of yourself💚💚💚 edit: and of course your edits are funny and straightforward as always, and i liove ur ending puns about subscribing to ur channel lol
holy shit your vids are evolving and this one was great, something that as ive become more curious about evolution has made me wonder about why we are so smart
As soon as we evolved hands, the benefits of intelligence increased greatly. We could apply our intelligence to make fine mechanical tools. A bird or dolphin as intelligent as an average human would have little opportunity to apply its intelligence.
I'd of thought it was tool use over anything else. Tool use shows up in other apes but due to their musculature and fangs they often don't require the use of a tool to get food and because they use more calories due to more muscular and less refined movements in the hands they would be less incentivised to try. An example would be a chimpanzee attempting to use a spear as a thrown weapon rather than just chasing it down and killing it without a tool. Hominids where competitively weaker than their relatives. Meaning a tool such as a weapon would be more advantageous and they'd use less calories in doing so. A great example of this is Neanderthals. They where stronger than humans and had bigger brains. But used twice as many calories so they where out competed. I think a good question might be why hominids weren't as strong as their relatives. I think it's probably due to bypedalism. It takes much less energy to walk on two legs than 1 so when the jungles receded due to a climate shift they switched to that. But because that required less muscle they where No longer as strong so benefited more from tool use.
I've heard rumors of a genetic mutation about 40,000 years ago that........changed our minds. I'd like to know more, as that was about when we started painting the cave walls and ceilings. Maybe forensic genealogy will solve the mystery. Onward
@@VeganSemihCyprus33 We sure aren't very nimble, and there's also talk of our brains shrinking. Neanderthals brains were about 500 ccs larger. I attribute most of the downward spiral to religion and male supremacy, which is hardly natural. We screwed up
Wonder if physical development (like being able to sweat, opposable thumbs….. in order to catch/kill animals for the energy needed for bigger brains) would have likely come before brain development or the reverse?
What if every Pokemon game only had a 150 Regional Pokedex? Without Nationals whatsoever. With each Region having 100 native and 50 foreign species(plus, Variants). How'd the game series have been like? And what about its quality?
Advantageous neurological & cognitive traits & learned skills & improvements have somehow passed down thru 10million generations and just needs nudging in each new generation by social interaction to pick up where generations of forefathers were at. Some forms of memory are passed down as instinct - think Monarch butterflies
I found your channel today. Great videos. Also interesting is that we sacrificed strengh for our intelligence, but a human with a spear can beat a gorilla. How strong an intelligent were we when we first used weapons? Did we then become weaker and more intelligent after we startet using weapons?
The research going into psilocybin mushrooms right now is so fascinating, it pains me that's it's been so restricted for the past fifty or so years. I do think that wether on shrooms or not people should give themself that time space and time of day (if ever they can find it) to just think... Because so many people would only give themselves this time if on shrooms!
Most of these theories revolve around a human beings social intelligence as the primary driver of increased intelligence through selection. It makes sense that a human being who can more effectively communicate or demonstrate intelligence is more likely to find a mate and therefore pass on those intelligent genes. I wonder though, about autistic savants. People who have what some might call mental superpowers, but virtually no social skills. Where does this intelligence come from if it doesn't come from a more social intelligence? (Apologies if this comment is unclear. Drunk autistic person here)

As someone who believes eating shrooms should be mandatory, I applaud this video. btw, just so that you know, at the end of the video when you say, "you should subscribe" sounded really cool.
nah, i still dont get it why we are alone in this maybe it's god, maybe it's simulation but anyway, thanks for the theories, i like EDSC theory when we started to contril our environment, we started to degenerate
Yes those could all be possibilities but they don't have any viable evidence or absolutely irrefutable empirical justification for them I am no too sure I am not bought on the idea that we degenerated because of us gaining control of our environment
Unrelated to the content but; It's a shame you used Einstein in the thumbnail. He wasn't that smart. He was a plagiarist and way over promoted by certain monied interests.
Okay Dan, we need to have a chat about your haircut. You've slowly gone from looking like young heir to the North Korean throne to japanese schoolgirl, so why not start wearing a sailor fuku, a bit of makeup and make us all happy? 😉
I thought it was cooking that made us or helped us become intelligent. Cooking made it so that our jaw muscles didn't have to be massive like with the apes, thus allowing for a larger head/brain!

It's an assumption not a theory

This channel is definitely gonna blow up at somepoint
Really enjoy your vids, keep up the great work!

Great video.Can you make a video on types of intelligence in humans?
"Why are we smart?"
"Because cow poop. That's why."

Just here to prove that I was an early subscriber when you inevitably blow up.
Lovin the content bro
Yes, many observations on the nature of intelligence. Still, so little is perceived of the intelligence of Nature.
Do more video! Pretty plz
your channel will be big
damn i love your vids man
Why can’t it be a bit of all of them?
another very interesting video. Thank you :)
